therein lies the rub. you have a lot of company in this aspect of PN.
I have found that the best position it to have your feet slightly elevated. I sleep with several pillows under my legs forcing the feet upward. Also the feet should be "out in space" touching nothing not even the sheets. I know this is an almost impossible situation to achieve 100% but any help in this area should help.. ( By the way I see some people with PN I still smoking, yelp... smoking is absolutely a "no no".) The reason for this is not too difficult to undertsand. Smoking causes local anoxia(lack of oxgen) to the tissues including the nerves. And as we know any insult to the nerves is detrimental,
